Matt Corcoran's litigation practice focuses on general commercial and class action litigation in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts.
Recently, Matt was part of a trial team that at the close of plaintiffs' case obtained on the seventh day of a jury trial a directed verdict on all claims, including fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. The claims arose out of the adoption of an amendment to defendant's LLC agreement setting criteria for LLC membership that plaintiffs could not meet.
Matt has extensive experience litigating consumer claims arising out of mortgage servicing practices. Recently, he helped obtain a dismissal with prejudice of an Ohio statewide class action relating to the filing of allegedly false affidavits and other foreclosure practices of a mortgage servicer. Over the past two years, he also has litigated multiple lawsuits relating to a mortgage servicer's loan modification practices and alleged over charging of attorneys' fees. Previously, Matt defended several class action lawsuits arising out of the alleged failure of mortgage servicers to timely record mortgage releases after loans had been paid in full.
Matt also has extensive bankruptcy litigation experience. Recently, he helped obtain an order enforcing the General Motors 363 sale order against three dealers attempting to seek reinstatement in the dealer network. He has litigated numerous adversary proceedings in the multibillion dollar National Century Financial Enterprises bankruptcy. He also was involved in all aspects of a major Kentucky coal mining bankruptcy, litigating adversary proceedings, plan confirmation and disclosure statement issues, and substantive consolidation issues.
